Aescripts Hacksaw 1.1.2 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesHacksaw is a displacement plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro on Mac, made by MEGAKRUNCH and sold through aescripts. It is not a standalone app. You apply it to a layer and it pushes the image around using randomly generated displacement patterns, turning clean footage into torn, shifted and glitchy visuals in seconds. Editors use it for music videos and trailers where a rough digital edge is the point.
Key Features
- Displacement effect driven by randomly generated pattern shapes
- Fresh pattern at the press of a button for endless variations
- Controls for pattern scale and displacement strength to fine tune the tear
- Works on footage, text and graphics layers in your timeline
- Runs inside both After Effects and Premiere Pro projects

FAQs
Is Hacksaw a standalone Mac app?
No. Hacksaw is a plugin effect. It has no window of its own and works on layers inside After Effects or Premiere Pro timelines.
Can I control how strong the distortion looks?
Yes. Pattern scale and displacement strength controls let you move from a light wobble to a heavily torn image, and a new random pattern is always one click away.
Does Hacksaw suit titles as well as footage?
Yes. Because it processes whatever layer it sits on, it works on text and logo layers too, which makes broken title treatments quick to build.
